A U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) spokesperson has confirmed a seizure at the Ambassador Bridge.

According to an official, a handgun, 19 rounds of ammunition, and just over 15 grams (15.12) of marijuana was seized on Dec. 30, 2024.

CBP stated that the items were found from a U.S. citizen during an outbound commercial vehicle enforcement operation.

The traveler, who is a commercial truck driver, was not charged and was released without further incident.

CBP said that officers routinely conduct these outbound enforcement operations to help prevent the illegal exportation of illegal drugs, firearms, and currency.
